AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011–13– 

09 for all Airbus Model A330–200, 

–200F, and –300 series airplanes. AD 

2011–13–09 required revising the 

maintenance program to incorporate 

new limitations and maintenance tasks 

for certain certification management 

requirements (CMRs). This new AD 

requires revising the maintenance or 

inspection program to incorporate new 

maintenance requirements and 

airworthiness limitations. This AD was 

prompted by a determination that more 

restrictive maintenance requirements 

and airworthiness limitations are 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent safety-significant latent failures 

that would, in combination with one or 

more other specific failures or events, 

result in a hazardous or catastrophic 

failure condition. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

March 2, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of March 2, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain other publication listed in 

this AD as of August 1, 2011 (76 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2011–13–09, 

Amendment 39–16732 (76 FR 37255, 

June 27, 2011). AD 2011–13–09 applied 

to all Airbus Model A330–200, –200F, 

and –300 series airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 26, 2014 (79 FR 50869). 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2013–0245, 

dated October 2, 2013 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Airbus Model A330–200, –200F, 

and –300 series airplanes. The MCAI 

states: 

The airworthiness limitations are currently 

distributed in the Airbus A330 Airworthiness 

Limitations Section (ALS). 

The mandatory instructions and 

airworthiness limitations applicable to the 

Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR) are specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 

3, which is approved by the European 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). 

The revision 04 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 

3 introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with this 

revision constitutes an unsafe condition. 

For the reason described above, this new 

AD retains the requirements of EASA AD 

2010–0264 [(http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/

easa_ad_2010_0264.pdf)], which is 

superseded, and requires the implementation 

of the maintenance requirements as specified 

in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3 revision 04. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/#!document

Detail;D=FAA-2014-0587-0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 50869, August 26, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed, with minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

50869, August 26, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 50869, 

August 26, 2014). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 76 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The actions required by AD 2011–13– 

09, Amendment 39–16732 (76 FR 

37255, June 27, 2011), and retained in 

this AD take about 1 work-hour per 

product, at an average labor rate of $85 

per work-hour. Based on these figures, 

the estimated cost of the actions that 

were required by AD 2011–13–09 is $85 

per product. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the new basic 

requirements of this AD. The average 

labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based 

on these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this AD on U.S. operators to be $6,460, 

or $85 per product. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. ‘‘Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs,’’ describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 16 / Monday, January 26, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 3867 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: 

General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We determined that this AD will not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

not have a substantial direct effect on 

the States, on the relationship between 

the national government and the States, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in 

Alaska; and 

4. Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for Pilatus 

Aircraft Ltd. Model PC–7 airplanes. This 

AD results from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as possible cracking from 

stress corrosion on various parts of the 

airplane structure made of aluminum 

alloy AA2024–T351. We are issuing this 

AD to require actions to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 2, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of March 2, 2015.
